Iran Warns Regional US Bases Amid Protests as US Considers Possible Intervention

Amid widespread protests and a harsh crackdown in Iran, US President Donald Trump has threatened strong action and urged protesters to continue, signaling possible intervention. In response, Iran warned neighboring countries hosting US troops—including Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Turkey—that American bases there could be targeted if Washington attacks. The US has advised some personnel to leave its key Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar as a precaution, though no large-scale evacuation has occurred. Diplomatic contacts between the US and Iran have been suspended amid escalating tensions, with uncertainty over the timing and scale of any US intervention.
